Is it normal to think about killing yourself every day but not be suicidal?

7 Comments

I don't want to kill myself. I mean I occasionally feel depressed but these suicidal thoughts are definitely just thoughts. I would never/could never act on them. When I am at work and I really don't want to be there I will think about slitting my wrists or stabbing myself in the chest. Both of those things would be horribly painful but for some reason I find myself thinking about them all the time.

    I do this pretty much every day too. In fact the thought pops into my head over 10+ times a day. It's o.k if you know they are just intrusive thoughts. When they start to look like a good idea you should get help.

    I'd say it's normal. Maybe slight depression though.

      Honestly I never think about that. I think about doing it to myself in painful ways.

    Yes, I do the same, though I must admit it's a waste of time and there are more productive thoughts to have.
